I just received a new email notification of a
change in the cc list for Bug 8849.  The email
message does not get formatted well in Communicator
4.7.  The "Old Value" and "New Value" columns are
not aligned.

I don't know if this is a Communicator bug in
formatting text messages.
This is what the message looks like in my Communicator
4.7 mail window:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8849

icos@digitalchat.net changed:

The best solution to this would be to only show changes to multi-valued fields. 
When you add or remove a keyword or a person to cc, you generally don't care
about the other values.

if we make new-email tech the default, doesn't that fix this bug? we're looking 
to do that for 2.12
I am using new-email tech.
I'm not exactly sure what the bug is here.  Your attachment is what I'm used to
receiving, but I've never seen what you pasted in any version of N4.  Was it
pasted correctly?  If not, what is the exact problem here?
This bug doesn't really bother me, so
I'm going to close it.

Resolution: --- → INVALID
If it's a bug as you say I'd like to know what it is.  There are plenty of other
bugs around addressing various issues with the old value/new value section, and
chances are it's a dupe, but I'd like to know what the problem was.

Even if it doesn't bother you, if there was a suggestion you had how to improve
things then others might benefit from fixing it.
verif invalid per reporters comments.  There's other bugs open on this situation 
though, so it's not getting lost.
